match stick shoot

When creating this piece once again i wanted to create asculpture/object which had connotations of what i would describe my fearbeing.One of the main thing i fearedwas beingalone with my brothers if mymum died so this is represented by the spilling of the match sticks am thinkinglots of thought and possibilities when my mams in hospital.Also the space around the match sticks givesof an isolating affect. I also wanted it to symbolise the fact fear can spreadthrough everyone.The pink match sticksand the burnt ones give of an effect of danger around this piece a bad thing ishappening.I have used wood again as ita natural material representing my natural feeling towards my fear.With my inspiration from Mike Nelson andNathan Coley I think that this piece is rather successful.In the bottom left I spelt out the word fearwith charred match sticks.I wanted touse text and locations but in a different way from the inspiration from myartist Nathan Coley.Mike Nelson comesin with the use of the burnt match sticks as his work is quite destructive andhas meaning to it.The spelling out offear is almost like fait, where ever you go you can’t escape it its always withyou and is almost like a burden.This iswhat I want to achieve in my final in some form or way.Its also using a box which is revealingsomething which I love.
